...no, but just the title makes it sound horrible.
There you have my sentiments.Macgyvercas said:
I don't see why everyone hated the prequels so much.
Phantom Menace had some sickass lightsaber fights, although Jar Jar is annoying beyond reason.
The Clone Wars had one of the THE coolest large scale combat sequences in Star Wars history, but the love story was a *****.
Return of the Sith had an amazing lightsaber fight with the best score out of the entire series, although Anakin was a little ***** in Episode III.
See whiny prequel haters? There's stuff to love, and stuff to hate in the prequels, but not enough to despise them, or hate an incredibly important man.
Why are midichlorians always picked on as a bad thing? I never got that.
I liked them, it was a bit like mitochondrial DNA in concept...

none of these movies qualify as great, even without the all-caps, nor are they making an impact on history. while i would agree that film has evolved without george lucas, i would argue that the majority of it did so poorly, and much of this lackluster transformation was influenced by people LIKE george lucas, who don't take the time to look twice at practical effects, and think that a CGI rendered cartoon can put on a better performance than a human being.qbanknight said:
I don't hate George Lucas, I hate those movies.
I feel that he should've known they were going to bomb, hell he probably did but kept going anyway.
I think he said as much in the commentary for the prequel movies.
But like I said, I owe him no forgiveness for I have never taken issue with himself.
Just 3 of his movies... I never watched any of the other crappy ones.

The phrase was obviously intended with a sense of poetic cadence.slowpoke999 said:
Here, let me rephrase it:
"He was angry that god didn't exist."
This seems to be a common misconception. Midichlorians don't cause the force. They're force sensitive creatures (Which have been demonstrated many times to exist) that can be used as a litmus test for a persons own force sensitivity.seidlet said:
Excellent article bob.
some stuff is good some stuff is not so good.
clone wars mini series and the original trilogy = good.
clone wars series and the prequel trilogy = not so good.
in my opinion of course.
but that doesn't mean i hate george lucas, i mean come on even in the preqels there were monents that you probably thought where good. i mean i can't be the only one who thought darth maul and his double edge light saber was awsome!

Alright, screw it: I really like Episode 1.
Why? Because it is the very first film I remember seeing at the cinema (I was 5) and it was a-fucking-mazing to me.
That's exactly the same reason why most people like A New Hope; let's face it, none of the films are the best in the world (I say this despite them being my favourite film saga) but we all like the for (mostly) sentimental reasons, and because they're fun, and deal with morality. And because everyone wants a lightsabre.
People need to get over themselves - no one's ruining the memory of films you like by making some films you don't like.

Despite Hayden Christensen's shitty acting, I actually enjoyed the prequels a lot. The characters were interesting, the battles were a whole lot of fun, the podracing scene was fucking epic and of course...Liam fucking Neeson.
Both the prequels and the original trilogy had a lot of faults and a lot of good, and I wouldn't be stretching things to say that I enjoy both equally.

He had no direct involvement in Star Wars Holiday Special an he him self as declared it none canon and want's to wipe it off of the face of the earth.Scde2 said:
As for the Starwars prequels... me'h the first one was shite. This mainly goes down to the annoying little shit playing Anikan, the last 20 minutes or so are okay with a now iconic battle scene with Darth Mual but other wise the rest was shit. Attack of the clones was okay, not the best of the series... sort of drags here and there. The films weakness is pacing, just when your getting into one story you get swept to Anikan trying to get laid. The third was pretty good, kept me entertained from beginning to end and I liked how it started with the space battle.
And that is why I have been rolling my eyes at those who can't forgive him.MovieBob said:
And Besides, why shouldn't he be allowed to remix his movies, everybody else does. Sure I like War of the Stars (the grindhouse fanedit version of Star Wars; check it out) better than the Special Edition but that's just me.
I can't imagine who expected the prequels to be any good to begin with... well, any better than they were.
I don't consider George Lucas important enough to hate. It's not like Ingmar Bergman letting everyone down by making a Death Wish film.
The best thing George Lucas ever did? Giving money to Akira Kurosawa to make "Kagemusha".
